AIX’s more than 3,500 opt-in members include HR professionals with small- and medium-sized businesses, governmental agencies and institutions, as well as senior HR and business leaders from some of the world’s most recognizable companies.

“AIX’s growth indicates a recognition that fostering employee well-being and readiness is essential as AI rapidly spreads across organizations, improving processes but also increasing instability, uncertainty, confusion, and anxiety,” said AIX co-founder and Managing Director, Charles Epstein. “Having 3,500 opt-in members indicates that more HR professionals are seeking insights and direction on creating resilient, adaptable, and human-centered workforces. Our work is only beginning, but this is a very encouraging start.”

AIX’s core components include AIXonHR.com (a “foundational” HR.com community), the AIX Factor podcast (conversations with business leaders, behavioral scientists, technologists, and wellness experts that probe the real-world effects of AI on people and work culture), and the AIX Files weekly Substack newsletter (news, perspectives, and predictions on the impacts of AI on well-being, readiness, and performance).

AIX (Artificial Intelligence Exchange), a dedicated community developed in partnership with HR.com, today announced a strategic shift to focus on AI’s impact on individual wellbeing, company culture, and readiness. AIX’s overarching goal is to bring together leaders, AI experts, and HR peers to exchange experiences and seek guidance on cultivating mentally resilient, emotionally intelligent, and professionally adaptable workforces in an AI-augmented world.

As organizations automate, optimize, and transform roles using AI, the real questions go well beyond the latest tools and hacks - they’re personal, behavioral, and cultural:

• How can organizations sustain employee wellbeing and engagement as AI accelerates the pace of work?

• What strategies help foster psychological safety and growth amid constant change?

• How can employees reimagine their value as traditional roles evolve?

• What soft skills will define leadership and employee success in the AI era?

• How can organizations prepare people for continuous learning and redefinition?

“AI will increasingly touch every corner of the employee experience—from hiring to training, from task management to team dynamics,” said Charles Epstein, AIX co-founder and Managing Director. “Its impact on employee well-being, readiness, engagement, and performance will be profound. Whether that impact is positive or harmful depends largely on how HR and leaders across the organization prepare for it. This begins by raising our individual and collective AIQs, which we define as knowing what questions to ask.”

AIX Components

• AIXonHR.com is a collaborative space for HR and business leaders, mental and behavioral health and wellness practitioners, and HR tech solution providers to share experiences, ask questions, and co-develop strategies that are both human-centered and AI-aware.

• AIX Files is a weekly Substack newsletter that provides “news, perspectives, predictions, and provocations” on the broad impacts of AI on well-being, readiness, and performance.

• Weekly blogs, such as this week’s article, “Now It's Personal: AIX Shifts Focus to AI’s Impact on Employee Wellbeing, Readiness, and Performance," explore timely topics at the intersection of HR and technology.

• The AIX Factor Podcast features conversations with HR and business leaders, behavioral scientists, technologists, and wellness experts that probe the real-world effects of AI on people and work culture. Background info on rotating co-hosts and their specialties.

• Bag Check is a popular standalone segment where guests unpack their must-have AI tools shaping the way they work.

“While we must prepare for AI’s impact on core HR functions—payroll, talent acquisition, learning, total rewards—developing strategies for cultivating resilience and driving professional growth will be the key determinants of how successfully organizations navigate the world of AI-augmented work,” said Debbie McGrath, HR.com founder and CEO.

“We’re excited about this strategic shift and have the perfect person to lead AIX in Charles Epstein—a marketer, writer, and podcaster who has worked with some of the most innovative vendors, organizations, and leaders in the wellness, behavioral health, and AI/worktech space.”

HR.com, the world’s largest global community of HR professionals, is leading the way in transforming workforce intelligence by partnering with Graphio.ai—an AI-powered analytics platform designed to revolutionize how organizations understand and optimize workforce processes and talent flow.

Through this innovation, HR.com is not only transforming its own approach—it’s also providing the broader HR community with a model for how modern technology and AI-driven insights can empower faster, smarter decision-making and drive organizational success.

“HR.com isn’t just talking about the future of HR—they’re living it,” said Dmitry Norenko, CEO of Graphio.ai. “By using Graphio internally, they’re setting a standard: aligning their own teams around automatically generated procedures and continuously tracking execution against those expectations. It’s a shift from managing people by gut feel to managing operations by fact - and we’re proud to be the system making that shift possible”

Key Features Include:

• Aggregated Team Insights: Assess performance and identify bottlenecks by team or role—balancing privacy with productivity.

• Continuous Monitoring: Receive ongoing insights into what’s working and what needs improvement, with actionable plans to guide change.

• Cross-Departmental Analysis: Combine data from multiple systems to reveal breakdowns in cross-functional workflows.

• Guided Next Steps: Smart, AI-driven recommendations help managers and employees stay aligned and improve results.

“Evaluating individual and team performance has always been subjective—until NOW. For the first time, leaders can access all key data points that measure productivity and performance. Leadership has long needed a smarter, scalable solution,” stated Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com. “With this technology, we’re making operational excellence and employee alignment measurable and manageable for organizations of any size.”

About Graphio.ai
Graphio.ai is an early warning system that auto-generates SOPs from API-enabled metadata, compares them to real team execution, and flags deviations.Built on best practices and actual team execution, these SOPs can be customized by leadership. When teams go off track, Graphio sends targeted nudges to get them back in flow. We detect silent execution risks - like rep disengagement, broken handoffs, flight risk, and misaligned tasks - before they stall deals, delay projects, or cause client churn.

MultiRater Surveys, a cloud-based leadership survey provider, and HR.com, the world’s largest network of human resources (HR) professionals, are proud to announce a partnership which will provide HR.com members with an automated employee feedback tool that will foster cutting edge leadership and employee development programs.

HR.com is committed to developing high levels of competence, confidence, leadership and job performance within the HR professional sector. By using products and resources founded in education, research and leveraging innovative technology, HR.com helps over 2 million HR professionals worldwide advance their careers and find optimal solutions to enhance job performance.

MultiRater Surveys (MRS) is committed to helping organizations develop their leadership capability at all levels, not just at the senior executive level. By providing the capability to fully customize leadership and employee surveys, MRS ensures that all HR professionals can create leadership programs that will improve their organization’s capability to thrive in the future. With AI-powered MyMentor Insights, HR professionals can fully implement interactive online leadership development programs for all supervisors, team leaders, managers, and executives—without needing to increase existing resources.

The partnership with HR.com was established to strengthen leadership capabilities and professional competencies, supporting HR professionals in the HR.com community and helping them advance their careers and proficiency.

The DDI Global Leadership Forecast 2023 found that only 40% of managers believe their company has high-quality leaders, and only 12% of organizations report having a strong bench to fill critical leadership roles. Furthermore, the report states that CEOs rank “developing the next generation of leaders” as higher priority and greater concern than economic or business challenges.

The two formidable barriers for business owners and CEOs in implementing an effective leadership program are cost and time. MultiRater Surveys focuses on delivering a cost-effective and timely solution. The result is a highly interactive process—effectively an online leadership coach—that represents a modest investment, making it practical to extend leadership development programs to all people managers, especially mid-level managers and team leaders.

“Our partnership with MultiRater Surveys empowers our HR community to build stronger leadership capabilities and competencies,” said Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com. “By leveraging innovative, accessible development tools, we strive to help HR professionals advance their careers and prepare for the evolving challenges of the future workplace.”
